[A French-accented man dressed in black blocks Harper's path]
You say you are an Irishman. Why should you be loyal to the British dogs, who want to take you to Lisbon to shoot you?
Jesus, you took the words right out of my mouth.
I can help you. Give me the box.
And if I do?
You will be rich.
And if I don't?
You will be dead.
Hmm... well, you're having the best of the argument so far.
I will give you 100 guineas- in gold- and safe passage to America.
America? That'd be nice. But you see, the King of England owes me last month's wages. There's no way I could rest easy in America knowin' that bastard owes me a schillin'.
[The Man in Black looks at Harper]
You would die for a schilling?
That's what I signed on to do.
You will have to do it, then.
It's a grand day for it.
